The Totality
The recent Dark Nights: Metal crossover ended with the Source Wall surrounding the DC Universe being breached and energy from the unknown realms beyond bursting through. That plot point is still very much at the forefront of this new series. Issue #1 opens with the Totality, a comet-like burst of energy from deep inside the Source, rocketing across the universe and being witnessed across multiple points in the DC timeline. The opening page showcases the futuristic Justice League of DC One Million, The Monitor from Crisis on Infinite Earths, Kamandi and Dr. Canus and a group of immortals (including Highfather, Hera, Ganthet and Phantom Stranger) all watching the Totality’s journey.
